How Do You Manage Resistors To Change?
When implementing a major change in operations or organizational structure, many companies experience a degree of resistance from their employees. Resistance can arise for several reasons ranging from a low tolerance to change to a difference in opinion about which changes should be made. Regardless of whether the resistance is insight or anxiety-based, you can employ a handful of techniques to reduce or prevent it all together. Improve your communication with your employees and provide adequate information about the new initiatives before you announce the changes. Often, resistance to change occurs when employees misunderstand the purpose and nature of the new initiative. In order to combat rumors and grievances arising from false information, communicate often with your employees. Give them detailed information about the initiative, as well as your reasons behind changing the status quo. Employees are more likely to agree with your decisions if they are able to see the larger picture
